I just read it, very sad indeed. However I love the Daily Mails take on it -

"Girl, 13, crushed to death by a falling branch as she sat on park bench on the day her teachers went out on strike" So don't worry, it was the teachers fault.

Not having enough funds isn't a good enough argument....!

 

Mid afternoon, no significant winds on a reasonably warm day after a few scorchers maybe it was summer branch drop and if so is there a negligence claim ?

 

Thoughts go to the family etc

 

As with the striking teachers that meant she wasn't in the place she should be I hope they are happy with there actions !

Your welcome to your opinion but I believe that she wouldn't of been there I it wasn't for the striking teachers ! You can't argue against that surely. Any incident that happened to any child that couldnt be in school on the day of the strike is due to the teachers !

anybody know what tree it was?

 

if that limb has just sat there split ready to drop for years, unnoticed, somebody should be accountable.

 

From the poor quality photo on the BBC news website it looks like a Poplar, which is unsurprising really.

No SHE might not of been there if it wasn't for the strike, but she could have been there on a school trip if there was no strike and also somebody else could of quite easily been sitting under that tree having lunch/pic nic and there would of still been a tragic accident.
